Laston & Geo
The interactive LED crowd ball was the result of a concept study for entertaining large crowds at music festivals. The Belgian DJ duo Laston & Geo stumbled upon a system pioneered by Armin Van Buuren that allowed him to keep visuals in sync with audio. They liked the idea behind the system a lot but didn't want to use visuals in the traditional way. Our assignment was to use this system to create an experience that could make the crowd more involved in the music.
ConceptThe interactive LED crowd ball is a inflatable ball that is equipped with a LED module. There are several modes of animations such as strobe, fade and rainbow which all are programmed parametric. This allows for some external inputs to influence for instance the color and speed of the animations. The DJ not only has the power to choose the light animation but also decides which of these three inputs is changing the parameters.
